Planner {Kate + Drew - Engagement Shoot}

Today we're featuring some of my wonderful clients - Kate + Drew. In Tandem, a super talented husband-and-wife team based in Austin, snapped these amazing photos! The shoot took place along South Congress and the grounds of St. Edward's University. It was beyond freezing outside, but Kate, Drew, and In Tandem took it all in stride and were real troopers. I think the photos speak for themselves. 

Planning Kate and Drew's engagement shoot involved a lot of coordination plus a few small design projects! I collaborated with Posey Event and Floral Design on the gorgeous bouquet. I also hand painted the Mr and Mrs signs for the lovely couple - I think they turned out pretty precious. Brooke of Lyric Salon styled Kate's hair and Stacey at Be Belle did Kate's make-up - lovely work, guys!

{Hurray, Kate + Drew!}

Yes - I did hand paint these signs and I'm pretty proud of them, if you couldn't tell ;). 

Planning {Lori + Nathan}

Recently, my bestest friend, Lori, and her adorable fiance, Nathan, tied the knot at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. The best way I can describe the wedding style is eclectic, vintage, fiesta! It was a colorful blast! I took on a few projects for the wedding including bright, big poms for the aisle and a fun honeycomb garland for the arbor area. I also helped Lori plan the design portion throughout the planning process - one of my absolute favorite things to do! 

The wedding design incorporated tons of great details: colorful, vintage vessels for flowers and desserts; a green, golden yellow, and fuchsia color palette; succulent favors; a "cake bar"; and fun ribbon streamer wands to send them off into marital bliss in style! With Katherine O'Brien Photography of Austin snapping the wedding pictures, it's a wedding designer's dream come to fruition! Will post those pics when available. 

Congratulations, Lori + Nathan! {10.01.2011}
